Israel Adesanya‘s coach has claimed that they made a mistake in his loss to Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Saudi Arabia last weekend.

On Saturday night, Israel Adesanya fell short in his battle with Nassourdine Imavov. Israel Adesanya was beaten via TKO in the early stages of the second round, in the wake of what was a pretty competitive opening to the fight. Of course, since the loss, many have been analyzing what exactly it was that went wrong.

Many feel like Israel Adesanya didn’t give himself enough time to recover after an apparent accidental eye poke from Imavov.
